Mardana

Mardana is a spiritual music band from Germany which emerged from the known formation Khalsa Jetha.
With Mardana, the three artists have created a
new musical project in which they enrobe shabads, spiritual songs and
Kundalini Yoga Mantras in a virtuosic musical
vestment, and that with great variety.
The compositions, mostly sung
in Gurmukhi, an ancient language that evolved from
Sanskrit, are enriched with English songs which creates an
entrancing blend of western and traditional
sounds.

The special attention of the trio lies in the multifold
vocal settings, enhancing the character as a
band, and finding unique expression in the choirs of many of
their pieces. Mardana has a fantastic ‘Groove’: capturing
beats and invigorating rhythms are their
speciality, yet as important as calm pieces and soothing
ballads or an ehteric chant which invites you to space away…

Every once a while, Mardana invite other guest musicians for their
performances and musical productions, for
example Gurudass Kaur, on whose newer albums
the three have contributed a large part of the music and
arrangements. Currently, Mardana is working on
their new album of which some pieces will already be perfomed
live.
